While Mike York awaits confirmation of his selection to the U.S. Olympic Team – connected sources have told The Post that York, Brian Rolston, Aaron Miller and Tom Poti will be four of the six skaters named to complete the squad this afternoon – Ranger teammates Vladimir Malakhov and Radek Dvorak were receiving congratulations yesterday morning for having been picked to represent Russia and the Czech Republic, respectively, at the Salt Lake Games.

“I am very, very, very excited and honored to be representing my country,” said Dvorak.

“All of the big guns from every country are going to be there.”

While this will mark the 24-year-old Dvorak’s first Olympics – the winger was a member of the Czech Republic’s gold-medal squad at last spring’s World Championships – it will be the second time around for Malakhov, the 33-year-old defenseman having won gold with the Commonwealth of Independent States in 1992.

With York’s expected addition to Team USA and Andreas Johansson’s anticipated addition to Team Sweden, the Rangers should have eight players in the Olympics, including Wolf Pack defenseman Peter Smrek, who will compete for Slovakia. Mike Richter and Brian Leetch are already on the U.S. roster, while Eric Lindros and Theo Fleury play for Canada.
